Hundreds of teams populated eastern Massachusetts this weekend for the annual Zero Gravity Battle for the Belt, the culmination of the fall season. The varsity American division belt went to the Boston Bobcats who impressed the entire weekend with their high-powered offense. Their ability to push the ball and score in transition wore teams down, especially late in games, while their lights out three-point shooting opened up driving lanes for their athletic guards to attack. Defensively, their length and athleticism…

The 2018-19 version of the Rams may not feature as many big names…

The story at Bridgton Academy has been the same for the last several years. The former NEPSAC powerhouse, which won the league’s top championship four times in five years from 2005-2009, lost the financial aid dollars to compete at a championship level around the turn of the decade. Since then head coach Whit Lesure has been fighting an uphill battle every year, through no fault of his own, but not lost an ounce of his energy or commitment. Like many…

For the second time this fall, the Middlesex Magic claimed the Varsity American Division title with co-champions after both teams advanced to the final game. Both teams impressed by being extremely vocal on both offense and defense. Their constant communication led to an efficient, mistake free, style all weekend long.
